Estimate Of the Quantity Carried Over on July 1
Remarkably Small Stock Of Invisible Wheat.
Bradstreet's prints the results OF q spe-
cial investigation into the quantity Of old
wheat carried over on July l, 1887, as
compared with the like date last year..
That the totals are approximately accu.

thousand inquiries have been made, in
grain experts, crop reporters and others.
Bradstreet's finds 81, GOO, 900 bushels OF
wheat in farmers hands (strictly), United
States and Canada, July l last, against
%, 600, 900 bushels a year ago, q decline
Of 7, 100, 900 bushels, or rs per cent. But

ply statement was IL, 600, 900 bushels J uly
/, against 7, 700, 900 bushels one year ago,
an increase of3 800, 600, over SO per cent.
The grand total ofinvisible wheat On hand

streets says:
It is safe to add that this Is the smallest

that the wheat in store at the eleva-
tors was insured for between
5000, 900 and $1,000 900. This In
surance is in about two hundred com.
panies, or about all the companies repre-.

upon Washburn, Crosby & Co., who had

is SAB, $50, with an insurance of $780,

The Inmates of Harems Consider
Their Lot Particularly Happy.

London Saturday Review.
A notion, seems generally prevalent
in Europe that, If only the harem
doors were openedy a rush for liberty
would i'm mediately take place, and
many are the sympathies wasted on
the supposed prisoners OF the Moham-
medan marriage ties. In reality, both
men and women consider their state
far superior to that of Europeans.
The man argues thus: "You are q
slave from the moment you marry.
You cannot go out to lunch OF dinner
or to your friends without taking your
wife with you. Youcannot even leave
her alone for a few hours without oiv.
ing an account of yourself. Such a
state OF things would be unbearable
to me. Ego where I like and my vile
goes where she likes. I pay my SER
wants to look after her, and lam sure
that she is not flirting with other men
when I am not by her side. You are
never sure of this" etc. This is HIS
line of argument. The woman says:
"My religion forbids me to look up-
on other men but my husband. i'll
changed my religion, perhaps l should
like to mix up with every fellow /
came across; but as long as I am q
Mohammedan / detest Che thought OF
it. l cover my face from the sight OF
the world, as your women cover
their bodies. As to being watch
ed and guarded. it is a COM
pliment which, shows how much my
husband cares Tor me. If he were to
leave me to do what I liked, l should
know he did not care for me and
should feel deeply insulted.
It is difficult for the western mind,
fully to grasp with the immense gulf
between our ideas and theirs. Their
reasoning is fallacious and almostridi-
culous from our standpoint, but it il
good enough from theirs. And there-
fore as long as the Mohammedan re-
ligion lasts, SO long will the harem.
exist. And its existence is, on the
whole, a happy and contented one,
in spite Of all the reasoning which
may be brought to show that IL
ought to be miserable.

Chicago multiplies and names in her
directory by a figure less than the five
which New York uses under the same
conditions in ascertaining the popula-
ton to be credited to her. Thus New
York's estimated 100000 comes
from $4,000 directory names, while
Chicago's 100000 names are made to
yield a population estimated OF but
